As suggested opening a new issue to keep on discussing what came-up from https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2020-09/msg00637.html Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org> writes: [...] > That's a different issue.

For completeness: ATM all code that was byte compiled gets native compiled automatically. For this reason it *has* an effect since Emacs starts. It is true that from a user perspective everything is going on transparently but the side effect of the native compilation is the exact reason why people are using it (read depending on the workload it can be noticeably faster). If it's more or less important than say using Cairo that's very much a POV I think, as I believe is classifying it as "minor feature" (reason why I'd avoid). Thanks Andrea
